Frequent contributor Jean Tanner sent us these patriotic photos just in time for Memorial Day. Along with these photos, Jean wrote:

“Memorial Day, or Decoration Day, is a patriotic holiday to honor those members of America’s armed forces who have given their lives for their country. It is a holiday where families place flags and flowers on the graves of their loved ones in remembrance of the price they paid with their lives.

“A collage of photos depict the rising sun of a fresh new day; Old Glory in its red, white and blue, blowing in the breeze; a male bluebird building a nest to begin a new life; and flowers, amyrillus, red rose and bottlebrush blooms, the color of the blood these soldiers shed.”
